Where Have All the Birdies Gone?

I think that twelve dollars for the shipping and handling for one book is excessive. Book was an excellant price but the shipping and handling charges were a ripoff. I won't use this business again.

I have greatly enjoyed Aaron and Charlotte Elkins series of golf mysteries featuring Lee Ofsted, but this one was the best so far. The characterizations have deepened and become even more believable. The plot displayed heightened complexity and, as always, the reader is drawn into an interesting and emotionally satisfying story. With so many mystery writers succumbing to the formulaic approach, it is a great pleasure to read the work of a storyteller. Not that it reaches "great novel" status - it wasn't intended to! But it does offer an engaging and enjoyable mystery for the intelligent reader. As for the monomaniac reviewer who dinged the book for a one-stroke golf "error," may your birdies be gone forever! Get a life. For the rest of us who care more about the overall quality of a book than in self-important nit-picking, this book delivers a hole in one!
